So I cuddle every night with my short haired mutt, and sometimes I nap in the afternoon cuddled with my golden retriever. They shed like crazy, and my bed and shirt are always covered in fur. I sometimes get sneezing fits when it gets too much, and id have to take antihistamines.

My mom told me to stop cuddling my dogs since she’s heard of people having fur build up in their lungs. Because they cuddle every night with their dogs who shed (like I do).

I’m not really sure if it actually happens… or maybe it’s just my mom finding me weird for cuddling my dogs to sleep. She has admitted before that she’s not really a pet-person since she finds dogs scary and dirty. She’s always scared they’d bite my face. So yeah…

Is it an actual thing that happens? If so how’d you get all that fur out?
